Giuseppe, David is correct about the Farsi markings. Persian lugers had the Farsi numbers stamped all over the gun and are very obvious. The mark under the frame serial number is definitely a letter suffix, common with military lugers. If we are going to be able to further characterize this unusual luger, we will need more photos of different parts, such as the frame with the grips removed, view under the receiver, close ups of the right side of the receiver, etc. When we come upon lugers such as this one, many more things need to be seen to give a fair and accurate estimate of what it is and its value. My guess at this point as to its retail value would be somewhere between $2K-$2.5K as 30 caliber luger such as this are essentially shooters and 7.65 ammo is harder to come by and is more expensive than 9mm. Will you be able to get more photos later?
